Chapter 70 Ying Zheng: Bait? I want them all
"Li Si, take a look!"
After retiring from the dynasty, all the ministers of the Qin State left separately, and Li Si was the only one who was summoned to the Zhangtai Palace by Yingzheng, and handed over the "Book of Saving Han" presented by Han Fei to Li Si to watch.
And this copy of the "Book of Saving Han" presented by Han Fei, Li Si just glanced at it, and couldn't help but change his face.
That's when it happened.
I only heard Ying Zheng continue: "You and Han Fei used to be from the same school, what do you think Han Fei said in this book?" ”
Li Si saluted respectfully and said, "King Bing, what this book says may be untrue. ”
"Oh? Where is it not true. ”
Han Fei's "Book of Saving Korea" is essentially a 'concerto' to persuade Ying Zheng to give up attacking South Korea, but Han Fei did not plead with Ying Zheng to give up attacking South Korea in the way of intercession.
Rather, it was to persuade Yingzheng to abandon the war by clarifying the intricate situation between the countries and the disadvantages of the current attack on Korea, which would lead to a simultaneous attack by Zhao, Wei, and Qi.
Of course, it is impossible for Ying Zheng to give up the war, but he has to admit that what Han Fei said in this "Book of Saving Han" also makes sense.
Today's Qin State is indeed powerful, even in the face of the last attack on Qin by the Five Kingdoms, the current Qin State may not be without the strength to fight.
But that's just a decision.
The essence of war is to plunder resources, and only the lowest price in exchange for the greatest result is the best policy.
And if the Qin State takes the lead in destroying Han this time, but instead attracts the joint attack of the other countries, then even if the Qin State can win, it will most likely only be a miserable victory, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Previously, Qin's strategy of taking the lead in attacking Korea was the first to be proposed by Li Si.
Li Si and Han Feishi went out of the same school.
And now that the two have put forward diametrically opposed concepts, Ying Zheng naturally thought of asking Li Si's opinion.
"Although this "Book of Saving Korea" clarifies the interests and disadvantages of Qin's attack on Korea from the perspective of war, it does not show that the existence of Korea itself has gradually become a 'trouble for Qin's'. Although the benefits of this disease are not usually visible, once it reaches certain critical moments, South Korea may become the most vicious knife to pierce the Qin State. ”
After that, Li Si continued: "Don't forget that the last time the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, Korea at that time had nominally declared its submission to Qin. But in that war, South Korea attacked Qin as the vanguard of the five-nation alliance. ”
"Qin and Han are very close to each other, and if it weren't for the disbandment of the Five Nations Alliance by King Qin's strategy, Korea at that time would probably become the first country to invade Qin's territory."
Han Fei argues from the perspective of war, while Li Si argues from the perspective of human nature and politics.
Ying Zheng listened.
It was also slightly lost in thought.
And at this moment, Li Si's eyes flashed, and he continued: "In addition, the minister also wants to remind the king that today's water worker "Zheng Guo" presented a treasure map, I am afraid that there is a calculation, and please be careful with the king." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Hearing Li Si mention the matter of 'Zheng Guoqu', Ying Zheng waved his hand, squinted his eyes and said: "The widow knows that they have other plans, but why is the widow not calculating them?" ”
Ying Zheng can come to this point, how can he really not see the plans of Han Fei and Zheng Guo at all.
It's just that the bait sent by the two this time is too big, and Ying Zheng is really reluctant to let go.
No matter what Zheng Guo is calculating.
But the treasure map of the 'Zhengguo Canal' presented by the other party is true, once this canal can be dug through, then the Qin State will have thousands of miles of fertile fields out of thin air, and I don't know how much grain can be grown for the Qin State.
As for Han Fei······
Why did Ying Zheng let him live in Qin for the time being?
It's nothing more than coveting his body······ Ah no, it's his talent.
That's why it gave him a little more time to think about it.
Now that Yingzheng has Mojun, he is no longer as eager for Han Fei as he was in the original book, but no matter what, for the king, the more talents, the better.
Han Fei's "Book of Saving Han" will indeed make Ying Zheng hesitate, but it is only hesitation.
Why did Yingzheng deliberately call Li Si this time.
He didn't want Li Si to fight with Han Fei about right or wrong, but wanted Li Si to come up with a solution.
It's a pity.
Li Si obviously didn't understand the real meaning of Yingzheng calling him here.
Or rather, he understood, but there was no way to fix it.
So I really have to talk about it.
This time, Li Si and his fellow brother actually lost the game again.

The other side.
After Han Fei left Xianyang Palace, he saw a carriage waiting outside the door early.
Got into the carriage.
Han Fei saw the escort of his envoy to the Qin State on this trip, Flame Spirit Ji.
"Looks like the trip went well! You seem to be in a good mood. ”
Flame Spirit Ji's beautiful eyes turned, and she spoke slowly.
Traveling in troubled times is already dangerous, not to mention that the place where Han Fei sent an envoy this time was still about to send troops to attack the Qin State of South Korea, in this case, if there is no suitable bodyguard, I am afraid that no one will rest assured that Han Fei will enter the tiger's den in Longtan.
In fact, the most suitable bodyguard candidate should have been Wei Zhuang, but unfortunately, the day before Qin sent troops to attack South Korea, Wei Zhuang just left to return to Guigu.
And among the rest of the people, the 'bodyguards' who are picky and picky, have time and ability, and only Flame Spirit Ji is left.
Han Fei got into the carriage, first stretched his waist, and then said slowly: "On the contrary, not only did this trip not go well, but the crisis encountered by South Korea this time is probably unprecedented." ”
"Why do you say that?"
Han Fei took out a wine jug and a wine glass from the carriage, first poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and a few traces of essence suddenly flashed in his eyes before he continued.
"It was also after I entered the Qin State this time that I discovered that the current national strength of the Qin State has reached such a level. Any negotiation needs to be based on the most basic strength, and now the strength of South Korea and Qin is completely unequal. ”
"Even I suspect that the target of Qin's troops this time may not be just South Korea······"
Flame Spirit Jihu glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "The situation is already so serious, are you still in the mood to drink?" ”
Han Fei smiled and said, "There is wine today and drunk today, you can't waste today's wine because of the disaster that is coming tomorrow!" ”
Flame Spirit Ji obviously also understood Han Fei's virtue, and when she heard this, she just rolled her eyes.
"So what do we do next? Since the situation is already so dangerous, we might as well flee back to South Korea now! ”
"Not necessarily."
Regarding the suggestion made by Flame Spirit Ji, Han Fei shook his head and said, "If you can escape for a while, you can't escape for a lifetime." Let's find a place to rest here for the night, and tomorrow we'll go to Hanzhong, and I want to see somebody. ”
Hearing Han Fei mention Hanzhong, Flame Lingji also understood who the person Han Fei wanted to see was.
Truly.
With the current situation of the Qin State, if there is still one person who can prevent the King of Qin from starting a war, there is probably only the one who has a great reputation in the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains now.
The two rested for one night in Xianyang.
Early the next morning.
Han Fei and Flame Lingji rode the carriage towards Hanzhong.
With the more merchants traveling between Xianyang and Hanzhong now, the road between Xianyang and Hanzhong is getting easier and easier, Han Fei and Yan Lingji did not deliberately speed up when they took the carriage, but it only took a day to come to the entrance of [Qinping Avenue].
"This is the [Qinping Avenue] built with 'cement'?"
When the carriage reached the entrance, Han Fei saw the gray-white cement avenue coming out in front of him, and couldn't help jumping down from the carriage and carefully observing the road under his feet.
However, the more he observed, the more frightened Han Fei became.
Han Fei is undoubtedly a very talented person, and the more talented a person is, the more he can see the infinite potential of the creation of 'cement'.
"Shengpingjun······ What a formidable opponent! ”
Han Fei couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
And just as his words fell, suddenly, Flame Spirit Ji pulled Han Fei's belt, and Han Fei subconsciously raised his head, just as he wanted to ask what was going on.
In Han Fei's field of vision, a figure suddenly appeared that surprised the two of them.
"Mr. Gai?"
"I've seen the Ninth Prince and the Flame Spirit Ji girl."
The person who appeared in front of Han Fei and Flame Lingji was none other than Gai Nie, who wore a long sword at his waist and had a grim face.
And beside Gai Nie, there was also a child dressed in white, whose appearance looked five or six points similar to Ying Zheng, but his eyes were still a little ignorant.
"This is ······"
Han Fei naturally noticed the child beside Gai Nie, and also vaguely had some guesses about the identity of the other party.
No way.
After all, in the entire Qin State now, there are not many people who can be escorted by the dragon and tiger guards guarding Xianyang Palace.
"I'm Fusu, who are you?"
Fusu, who was guarded in the center by the Dragon and Tiger Guards and Gai Nie, said in a milky voice.
"It turned out to be the eldest son of Qin, and he was the envoy of South Korea to Qin this time - Han Fei." Although Fusu is still young now, the identity of the other party is extraordinary, so Han Fei also bowed very seriously.
When Fusu heard what Han Fei said, he also hurriedly returned a salute, and said very politely: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince of Korea, Fusu was rude." ”
Fusu is not very old now, and he doesn't look very formal when he learns to behave like an adult, but it gives people a rather cute feeling.
"Is Mr. Gai and the eldest son also going to Hanzhong on this trip?"
"Yes. My father asked me to worship ······"
Tap, tap, tap~~
Before Fusu's milk voice was finished, suddenly, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him.
Everyone subconsciously looked back.
The next second.
I saw two fast horses galloping from the top of [Qinping Avenue], and the two people on the horse were each carrying a package, and there were a few things like 'white cloth' faintly revealed inside the package·······
